Before dawn, a full moon hung over the mountaintop, with only a few sparse, not very bright, stars dotting the sky.
She got up early in the morning to dress up, bid farewell to her uncle, aunt and sister-in-law, Sun Miaoqing, carrying a large bundle of jewelry, silver notes and a purse for tips, and went to the palace gate with her two maids, Qiangwei and Linglan.
When they arrived at Zhenshun Gate, it was already broad daylight. Sun Miaoqing got off the carriage and happened to meet Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang.
An Lingrong's eyes seem to speak volumes; if I were a man, I'd like her pitiful appearance too. It's a pity that Big Fat Orange is blind; he doesn't like her type.
An Lingrong's smiling face instantly froze. Who's speaking?
Just as she was cautiously observing the people around her, trying to find the source of her body and soul, she saw Sun Miaoqing get off the carriage and come towards them.
If we're talking about who has the most talent in the palace, it has to be An Xiaoniao. If she hadn't been so trapped by her own limitations, even Zhen Huan wouldn't have been a match for her.
Is it her?
An Lingrong felt that her worldview of the past ten years had been overturned.
She can actually hear what other people are thinking!
However, what does it mean that if she hadn't trapped herself for her entire life, Zhen Huan would have been no match for her?
Huan-jie treated her so well; although they weren't blood sisters, she treated her better than her own sisters.
Not only did he help her out on the day of the talent show, but he also invited her to stay at the Zhen residence.
Today, when she entered the palace, Aunt Zhen prepared a bundle and these clothes for her so that she could maintain her dignity as a young mistress and not lose her composure in front of the servants.
How could she possibly go against Sister Huan!
Besides, in terms of appearance, family background, talent, and even social status, she was inferior to others in every way, so what right did she have to compare herself to Sister Huan?
Moreover, why would she call her Little Bird An? It was their first meeting, and she hadn't shown any disrespect whatsoever, yet this person gave her such an humiliating name. It just didn't make any sense.
After her initial panic subsided, An Lingrong felt a surge of inferiority. Looking at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's poise and grace, and then at herself, she felt petty and small-minded.
Just as An Lingrong was pondering this, Sun Miaoqing had already walked up to the three of them.
Shen Meizhuang asked, "Is it Sister Sun?"
Both she and Zhen Huan looked at Sun Miaoqing with some surprise. They had met once during the palace selection. At that time, although Sun Miaoqing was dressed exquisitely and richly, her appearance was not outstanding.
But when I saw her again today, she was still the same person, but her appearance and demeanor had improved by more than one level. Although she could not be described as stunningly beautiful, her eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, which made people feel comfortable just looking at her.
The two secretly wondered if she didn't want to enter the palace, so she deliberately dressed up to look ugly during the palace selection, but the emperor had sharp eyes and immediately saw her good points.
Sun Miaoqing said with a smile, "Sister has a good memory. I was selected along with my two sisters on the day of the palace selection, and we are entering the palace together today."
Zhen Huan said, "It truly is fate."
After saying that, she introduced An Lingrong next to her, "Sister Sun, this is Sister An. Like us, she is one of the second batch of Han Banner concubines to enter the palace today."
An Lingrong snapped out of her thoughts and greeted the gentle and frail Sun Miaoqing.
Hello, Sister Sun.
Sun Miaoqing helped her up. "You must be Ling Rong. You have such beautiful eyes."
[An Xiaoniao's eyes were still shining at this moment, and her voice was so gentle and sweet. I love it!]
An Lingrong sensed from her words that she didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her; on the contrary, she seemed to have a good impression of her.
So calling her An Xiaoniao isn't meant to mock her, is it?
Thinking of this, An Lingrong's inferiority complex faded away, and she smiled and said, "Lingrong thanks Sister Sun for her praise."
[Sigh, such a good person, after turning evil, not only harmed Zhen Huan and the Zhen family, but also killed Sister Mei to make Zhen Huan suffer.]
[What good is following the Empress? She was forced to take contraceptive soup for years. And because the Empress wanted to use her pregnancy to frame Zhen Huan, she was forced to take strong medicine to conceive a child she was destined to die from.]
However, Zhen Huan didn't fall for it. After her miscarriage, her affair was exposed, and she was slapped every day. In the end, she committed suicide by eating bitter almonds.
Although the Queen's instigation and the chubby orange cat's inhuman behavior contributed to its tragic end, it was primarily due to jealousy and childhood trauma.
No wonder people say that some people use their childhood to heal their entire lives, while others spend their entire lives healing from their childhood. Given her family background and the lack of psychologists in the Qing Dynasty, she could only change her fate through her own understanding and acceptance.
An Lingrong's heart, which had just calmed down, was stirred up again by these words.
She couldn't help but look at Zhen Huan. Would she be able to harm Zhen Huan and kill Shen Meizhuang because of the Empress's instigation, and in the end, she herself would not have a good end?
No, that won't happen!
How could she possibly do something so terrible?
And how could Consort Sun know what would happen later?
But since she could hear what others were thinking, Sun Miaoqing realized that knowing the future wasn't so unacceptable after all...
